Hello, December!

So December this year finds me in Illinois. Last year it was Cincinnati. 2009 was Alabama. The year before that, probably Mount Vernon. Who knows. I’m not nomadic, really, so if by any chance we could stay put in one spot for more than a few Christmases, I would be nothing short of elated.

In honor of December 1, I figured I’d share another Max Lucado excerpt for your viewing pleasure. This is today’s.

The Winner’s Circle

The Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free. – Eph. 6:8

For all we don’t know about the next life, this much is certain. The day Chris comes will be a day of reward. Those who went unknown on earth will be known in heaven. Those who never heard the cheers of men will hear the cheers of angels. Those who missed the blessing of a father will hear the blessing of their heavenly Father. The small will be great. The forgotten will be remembered. The unnoticed will be crowned and the faithful will be honored. The winner’s circle isn’t reserved for a handful of the elite, but for a heaven full of God’s children who “will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12).

~ When Christ Comes

Here we go, December!
